Golden Parnassus Resort and Spa Cancun- Adults Only All Inclusive

Me and my husband spent seven days at this hotel for our honeymoon. We had a great time and meet some wonderful people. The entertainment staff are great and you will never be bored! We had no problems with our air conditioning and we were plenty cool. The beach is by far one of the best, way better than the other hotel. We did have a golden room so we had a mini bar in the room and i had to call down repeatedly to get someone to come up and restock it, the food was okay but not great....The buffet was definetley the best!

The employees at this hotel did an excellent job along with the entertainment staff especially the people involved with the pool activities. We are an older couple who still like to party and have fun, but the noise in the a.m is bad in your room from the people just getting in from the bars.

We visited the Golden Parnassus over Labor Day Weekend and had a great time. This was our first time at an all-inclusive resort and we felt we got a good deal overall. Plenty of activities if you like that sort of thing. We brought a stack of $1's and I'd recommend bringing 10-15 for each day your there. We tipped the maids a few dollars each day, the waiters at dinner, and any bartender if we were going to be getting more than 1-2 drinks from them. We're early 20's and had plenty of fun, I'd say there were two main groups of people: people in their 20's and then the 40+ crowd Room: Our room was nice. Fairly standard but nice hotel room, nothing special but definitely more than sufficient. The cleaning staff does a great job. Beach: The beach front by the hotel is great! There's a bar right on the beach. There are 10-12 thatched shade providing poles and plenty of lounges. It is only 50 ft or so from the hotel steps to the water and the beach is approx this wide all along the hotel zone. The sand is soft and there are many water sport providers right on the beach (NOT included with hotel) for parasailing/etc. The water was great but the slop of the beach and the waves are NOT conducive to good boogie boarding. Pool: We thought the pool was very nice. No swim-up bar which seemed to disappoint a lot of people. As for as swimwear, most was standard US beach stuff, though you did see a few women sunning topless and the occasional speedo. Food: The breakfast/lunch meals didn't have a lot of variety but were good quality each day and we were satisfied with each. 3 of the resort's 4 dinner restaurants are open each night. While we were there, we ate at the Shangri-La, the Barn, and Pier 12 and all were very good. The Shangri-La is the only one with a dress code but is definitely worth it. Check the schedule for which restaurants are open and I'd eat there often. The Barn was good, though they overcook the steaks a bit so order your steak more rare than you normally would. Drinks: Plenty of bars all over the hotel. Great service. Not top shelf booze but it's still good. Beer selection is basically Dos Equis or Corona. Good mixed drinks. ***BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE*** the glasses they serve you in are about 8 oz but they're happy to fill up something bigger if you bring it.

This was perfect for a couple day get away. Everyones relaxed and just trying to have a good time. Will absolutely stay again next time im in cancun.

If you have realistic expectations you will not be dissatisfied! It is not the Ritz, but do you really spend that much time in your room while in Mexico anyway?? Rooms clean, Staff was terrific, drinks were good! Food good. Pool nice, and best beach in area! what more can you ask for? Noticed that this was the only hotel in both directions that actually had guests! Hotels on both sides were almost empty! Over a week stay, the guests flow changed from wild to more conservative, so be prepared for both! Just enjoy!! it's Mexico!

i would avoid traveling with american airlines had nothing but problems but i would and am going to go back to the golden parnassus staff is unbelievable food is good and the people that stay there are down to earth awesome trip loved the beach,water i recomend haveing fonzie at the teaky bar make you a miami vice and if your dareing have a shot of mexican viagra (taquila and vodka with hot peppers) its a tad hotttttttttt anyways loved it and recomend the place to anybody unless your looking for an uptight place with snooty people that would be next door

The club Ocean view room was great.

We went to the Golden Parnassus for our honeymoon from December 17-21 and had an absolute blast. It really was the first vacation I've ever been on where I was genuinely sad to go home. The staff at this hotel was incredible, and after visiting with several of them (Juan at the Asian restaurant & Perfecto at the hotel lobby bar, especially), it almost felt like we were leaving friends. We had a suite on the top floor, with a jacuzzi by the window that faced the ocean, which was spectacular. The food was above average, but not great (Asian food and the "Old Barn" were the best food, in my opinion). The service was again, excellent though. We wanted to experience Mexico but didn't want to spend a fortune doing it. Golden Parnassus allowed us to stay in our budget, but was the time of our life. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Cancun. Also, the day we left, they were adding about 30-40 yards of sand back to the beach as part of a massive restoration project, which makes the beach (and the all-inclusive bar on the beach) that much better.

We had a great time at the resort. There was 5 resturants to choose from and they were all very good. The Tiki Bar was always a good time. There was plenty to do without leaving the resort.

Hotel was very nice and had a great ocean view. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty to choose from to eat. Very good drinks. Loved our stay.
